I can relate to what you said, being half way and wondering how it will all merge together :/ ? But your fire place is gorgeous :D I love your choice in marble, it works so well with the rest of the room. Very sumptuous. Must be the house of a tradesman with Mercurius on the mantle.<br /><br />I only marbled twice before in miniature. Just on a big sheet, to cut out wall tiles from later. Initially it felt like making an abstract painting and there's no cohesion. What helped me a lot was researching the different marbles that are around. Some species are quite distinct in how they look and whether and to what extend they're veined. <br /><br />It must have been really hard for you on that odd shaped piece! Great you took it on, now you've conquered this the rest of your house will be a piece of cake :)))Deborahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00288909507295400867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7970957831423476778.post-87117631115755074162013-03-20T15:47:04.893-07:002013-03-20T15:47:04.893-07:00Hi Simon,

First I thought of red marble bt that would be to bold for my taste(well for this room)! Yes that's the silk we bought at that wonderfull shop, which I have to visit again this spring/summer for some more nice things.<br /><br />No this time I used the acrylics one was the same color that was used for the woodwork. But next time, probably the floor of the hallway will be done in oilpaint.jeffryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08920052734082751172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7970957831423476778.post-21761294470503221252013-03-14T13:44:37.597-07:002013-03-14T13:44:37.597-07:00Hey Adrie, dankjewel ik kan je zeggen dat het een ...Hey Adrie, dankjewel ik kan je zeggen dat het een leuk klusje is om "tussendoor" te doen.
